History of the Feywild

Before the Foundation of the world known as Cynthia, there existed other worlds within the multiverse, as well as many other deities that ruled over those lands. One of those deities, Danu, Goddess of Creation, had a desire to be in community with other gods like herself. She would dream of creating a whole plethora of orlds, and then create gods to rule over them. Fueled by her own communal nature, and in an attempt to complete this dream, she created the Tuatha De Danann ("Folk of the goddess Danu").

The Tuatha De Danann were given Danu's powers over creation, being able to manifest their imagination into reality. Seemingly effortlessly, the Tuatha De Dannan created worlds by the power of their dreams and willpower alone.

But the rest of the gods grew jealous over the ability to create, and they unified to defeat the Tuatha De Dannan. Unfortunately for Danu and her creations, the gods were mostly successful. Countless Tuatha De Dannan were slaughtered, and the survivors were banished to a purgatory that would contain their immense power. This purgatory would later be known as the Feywild.

While trapped in this realm, the Tuatha De Dannan began to procreate and populate. Their offspring did not have as much of their power, but they were still incredibly mystical and unpredictable. They became known as the Feyfolk, or later known simply by the realm they reside in: the Fey. The first descendants of the Tuatha De Dannan, stronger in their abilities, were called the archfey.

Tuatha De Dannan to this day are tethered to the Feywild and are unable to leave under any circumstances. Their children, the fey, however, are able to sometimes slip into the Material Plane through areas where the boundaries between the two planes become thin. With other planes of existence, these are called Gates. With regards to the Feywild, these Gates are nicknamed Fey-Doors.

The archfey that reside in this land have grown so powerful that they have shaped their lands according to their own will, creating for themselves beautifully wondrous Domains of Delight.
